Grow up and stop being tribalistic. You are a human before any tribe/religion/identity. Be a man and GROW! You are what you THINK.

Invictuse:
I have registered your ID now and will stop when I see you quote Igbos making similar bigotry remarks when you post story about skull mining to stop

I will never do that. It is wrong for us to discriminate based on tribes if we can't join hands together in our local domain for a common cause. How dare we call the white racists? So let's live with LOVE as we share common background (NIGERIA).

NigeriaIsDoomed:
I wish they could kill all of them.
Igbos should learn to reprimand their folks when the commit crime instead of celebrating them.
Say no to crime!
